Yesterday I received a package of MOVIES from DR MBARNUM. It was a nice collection of stuff. Since there was nothing I wanted to watch on television, I started watching them.

LIZZIE with Eleanor Parker....pretty good movie in the 3 Faces of Eve family.....I like Eleanor Parker....for the most part.

AIR HOSTESSES - a lot of girls decide to go to school to be....you know....the best part is that it featured Barbara Billingsley, Marjorie Lord, and Gloria Henry as three of the girls. Marjorie was best.

AIR PATROL - a 1962 movie that had LOTS of L.A. location shooting. There was an extended sequence at the Producer's Studio where I think MR BK made TFNM....the buildings looked the same....and the bad guy ended up driving down the Valley River to the Sepulveda dam......

NAKED PARADISE with Beverly Garland stinking up the screen, but also Jonathan Haze and Dick Miller and Richard Denning....and some nice Hawaii locations.

And THE BIG OPERATOR, an Albert Zugsmith spectacular featuring Mamie Van Doren as a suburban housewife, EL VAMPIRO, and HIGH SCHOOL HELLCATS....which according to the ages of the girls should actually have been GRAD SCHOOL HELLCATS....but....

TOD:

I pretty much enjoy them all.....but two particular favorites:

Chef of the Future - when Ralph and Ed go on television to sell a kitchen gadget.

The $99,000 Question - Ralph goes on a quiz show and Ed helps him cram on the subject of music....

Didn't get back to sleep - may try again once the helper comes and goes. Printing out orders as they come in.

Jrand -

This might be a link worth quickly glancing at for "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" music to get into a mood.

Or "Shake Your Booty" and "All About That Bass" could be a mood-setter for "Bless Your Beautiful Hide"

FJL · « **Reply #40 on:** May 14, 2015, 08:38:03 AM »

Does this version of "7 Brides" include the Kasha and Hirschhorn songs?

bk · « **Reply #41 on:** May 14, 2015, 08:51:34 AM »

Waiting for the arrival of the helper.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 14, 2015, 08:54:52 AM »

CD purchased.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 14, 2015, 08:56:52 AM »

Thanks DR FJL I will check out that link.

As far as I know the Kasha-Hirschorn songs are there. I don't have a libretto or score here since I'm not in the show. I know they are doing the awful "A Woman Ought to Know Her Place" which is one of theirs, I think.

The script has been revised since I did it last time back in the 90's and it's much better.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #44 on:** May 14, 2015, 08:57:56 AM »

I have the enhanced soundtrack from the movie.....so I am using the music only tracks from it, and I took the vocals out of a couple of the other songs, so I think I have about 23 minutes of stuff which should be enough.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 14, 2015, 08:58:50 AM »

I tried some American folk music, but nothing really seemed to fit. And I don't want the audience to be confused....so I thought I would stick with music from the film.

I've seen THE HONEYMOONERS classic 39 many times each.

I agree that "Chef of the Future" is way up on top of the favorites list.
"The $99,000 Question" is up there too. I especially like that the Italian neighbor is named Mrs. Manicotti. This reminds me of the character on The Abbott & Costello Show, Mr. Bacciagalupe, played by Lou Costello's brother-in-law, Joe Kirk.

I would add that I'm a sucker for Christmas episodes and I have always liked The Honeymooners "classic 39" Christmas episode, the one with the box with the secret compartment "owned by the Emperor of China". I enjoyed the later Christmas episodes from the 1960s and 1970s even though these are not the same as the 1950s canon. What is interesting in the so named "Color Honeymooners" that these would develop into musicales with Broadway/Vaudeville-style numbers.

More HONEYMOONERS:

1. Ralph and Alice hire a maid.
2. Alice, your mother's a "blabbermouth".
3. When Norton teaches Ralph how to play golf.
4. Ralph is about to inherit a "Fortune".
5. Ralph is in a play and cannot say the phrase "polo ponies".

Leonard Stern was one of the many great writers on the show. Later worked on "Sgt. Bilko" with Phil Silvers, and I believe he went on to "Get Smart" among many other shows. I know that Mel Brooks has said that Mr. Stern created the opening credits sequence for "Get Smart". The word game "Mad Libs" was something Mr. Stern helped develop.

They'd never allow the "Bang! Zoom!" threat to Alice on TV nowadays:

This morning I couldn't find my medications. Fortunately I always carry a 3 day emergency supply in my purse. Without my thyroid meds I can become grumpy & depressed as well as extremely tired. I don't need any of those symptoms right now

Eventually we found them packed in a suitcase in the car. Why on earth I did that is beyond me. What a relief. It would have not been fun trying to get more meds, and probably at full price vs the insurance price.

Glad you found them DR JANE!

Thanks for The Honeymooners info DR DAN M.

Audrey Meadows has said that because Gleason hated to rehearse and often refused to, she became a traffic director - she would put her hand on her hip and let her elbow point in the direction he was supposed to go next - and other subtle blocking hints to keep him where he should be during the filming.

Here is another classic......

I HATE the sound of packing tape. It is soooo loud it hurts.

I need to clean all the empty shelves and drawers. Keith has made the last run to the dump as our trash barrel is full. He did some of the highest shelves before leaving.

And yes the writing was epic:

"Oh, Alice.....when I was younger, all the girls loved me. When I was at the beach, all the girls wanted to crowd around me."

"That's right, Ralph. They wanted to stand in the shade."

I am getting tired just reading DR JANE's posts.
